HISTORY
Edmontonia rugosidens was about 20 feet in length and weighed as much as 4 tons. Edmontonia was a nodosaurid so it lacked a tail club. This armored dinosaur was very heavy in build with a low, long and wide skull as well as a frightening array of long, robust spikes projecting from its shoulders and running down both sides, in diminishing proportions, to its tail.
